inhaler

to be fair, Lex wasn’t overly enthusiastic about her assignment to the haunted house. so when she saw someone setting up what looked like a medical booth it obviously drew her attention and she made her way over to check it out. chuckling at the other woman’s words she shook her head even if she wouldn’t see it. “no, not asking for medical attention,” Alexandra started, hands up in a gesture of mock surrender. “I’m taking the boards in a few months for my nursing degree, so the medical supplies drew me in.” she seemed incredibly organized as she studied the table, a trait that Lex appreciated in someone else. “I’m hoping this is just a precaution and they don’t think there will actually be the need for health services,” she stated somewhat nervously.

ellie’s features softened as the other spoke, clasping her clipboard to her chest.  the brunette remembered the entry exams well, the all nighters she spent studying, words jumbling in her brain, blurred through tired eyes.  true, it was not so long ago, but she did not envy anyone in that present position of stress.  ‘nervous?’ she asked casually, a warm smirk painting her lips.  ‘yeah me too but you know what kids are like.  i didn’t volunteer last year,’ (or this year for that matter), ‘but this other guy who did told me one of the workers accidentally nailed a wooden plank to their hand.’

it was a scene from the very start and just before bexley could even call out to the the other to warn them the ball of goo was being splattered in every direction. this was more funny to bexley who laughed it off as the kids ran away. “oh… it’s just a little fake blood.” she stated looking down at her leg and shook it off. “you’re lucky, really. the stuff could have stained and then you’d really be in trouble. but this should come out. besides the point of the fun is tricks and treats, i think you just lost out this time.” 

being the scaredy-cat she was (especially around this time of year) ellie momentarily shot out of her skin at the sound of bex’s voice.  her laughter was not appreciated, though the blood soaked brunette had other things to occupy herself with than poor humour.  ‘just a little fake blood?’  she echoed, unable to contain the irritation in her tone.  ‘the stuff could have stained?’  panicked eyes darted downwards, and the truth was confirmed.  ‘I just got this dry cleaned! quick check, is there any in my hair? oh god it’s in my mouth! what if I swallow it?! who knows what gross chemicals they put in those things!?!’ quickly she began to hyperventilate, subconsciously reaching for the inhaler she had not carried for almost ten years. ‘god just- do you have a tissue or something? I have to get this off me before my shift starts.’
